You probably need to compile specific drivers for the device into the kernel. I don't know much about the hardware or the drivers but my experience with Gentoo has been that usually things end up working if you give the kernel the correct driver/parameters. Dell may have linux drivers somewhere. -Dennis /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
